Questions & Answers

SHERI M : What is the inner and outer diameter of the eye piece?
Brian A : Will this fit over my Nikon F3 corrective diopter?LYNN H : I have no idea. I used it on my D300.JON C : I do not know. I suppose you could get one at minimal expense and try it.
Tandy H : Will this fit my Nikon F3??CATHERINE W : I purchased this eyepiece to fit my FE body. You could possibly contact Nikon for historical data concerning your F3 body and what eyepiece would fit.HENRI S : I do not know as I used on my Canon 5D MK ll where it fits very well.SHERMAN L : unknown, the tip was from a pro photogragher. i purchased the rectangle to round adater then the mouting ring then the eyecup. it fit my d200 not sure about any other applications.MATTHEW H : No. This will not fit the F3 or F3HP.KENNETH L : The DK-2, and the older DK-4 that it replaced, are the correct Rubber Eyecups for the F3. I do not think that the DK-3 would work.KEITH S : Hello. I cannot give you a DEFINITIVE answer, but perhaps with the information I supply you can determine the answer for yourself. First of all, is the viewfinder window piece at the upper rear ROUND, and is it approximately 5/8 of an inch in diameter? If it meets THOSE TWO criteria, next see if it UNSCREWS. If so, then yes, you should be able to attach the eyecup. Take the eyecup and place it between the viewfinder window and the camera and screw the viewfinder window into the camera. NOT TOO TIGHT will hold it just fine. Hope this helps. And perhaps someone else will chime in and give you an answer from their own experience with an F3. BTW -The F3 is a really great camera! I use this eyecup on my FM3A. Oh, and I also checked at the Ken Rockwell site under "F3" but there is no rear view of the camera and he makes no mention of using eyecups on it.

Indispensable Accessory

I've had these rubber eyecups on every one of my Nikon FMs, FEs, and FM2Ns since I started shooting film in 1978. For me this is an indispensable accessory. I am able to better see my viewfinder readings; I don't have to worry about sidelight or backlight coming through. When attached, the bottom half flips up, allowing you to open the film door without any problem. It is held by the round viewfinder eyepiece that screws onto the camera, so you must have that to secure it tightly. Very well made, with metal ring and heavy rubber cup. Once you use it you won't want to shoot without it. Great product.

Does the trick.

I purchased this for my Nikon FE. It’s pretty wonderful. My only complaint would be how fussy it is when opening the back of the camera to remove/reload film.

Nice item

I bought this eyepiece to use on an older Nikon FM3A 35mm film camera. To use it, unscrew the round diopter lens at the viewfinder and install this item between the diopter lens and the viewfinder. Screw the diopter lens back in tightly and check it from time to time as constant camera usage 'could' result in the rubber eyepiece loosening the diopter lens. You don't want to lose these pieces, so checking them occasionally is a good idea. However, mine is screwed in tightly and has shown no signs of loosening with much camera handling.

Perfect fit

This is an original part and fits perfectly. Be sure to securely screw in in!

Works fine but no instructions

You sort of have to figure this one out, because it comes with no instructions. The way I think it works is that the rubber cup is held by the original screw-in type viewfinder.

Well made eye cup

Great fit and finish, necessary for those who wear glasses,and those of us who photograph in the Southwest, with harsh lighting is the reality......

Sturidier than Original

Seems to work a bit better than the original (1977) version. A bit stiffer, which is good, yet flips up easily to open the camera back.

works great

I doubt I'll use an SLR without an eyecup ever again.

works great!

Remember to get the replacement eyepiece to go with it. I love mine, it's much more functional then the standard one that came with my D300.

At Last! A D-300 Eyecup!

Used with the replacement eyepiece finder for the FE, you can now have an eyecup on your D-300 rather than the one that came with the camera. Unfortunately, the replacement eyepiece finder easily unscrews (especially while carrying the camera) with the result that the eyecup is lost. I bought two just to be on the safe side.
